Search query returns empty results

I am not receiving any returned results when I do a search query.

  def index
        @users = User.where(zip_code: locations.map(&:zipcode))
        @users = User.search(params[:search].gsub(/\s+/, ' | '))

Though if I do what's below it returns the results:

@users = User.where(zip_code: locations.map(&:zipcode))
else
@users = User.search(params[:search].gsub(/\s+/, ' | '))

Why is it that I have to add else? Shouldn't I be able to run both? I want to run both of them at the same time to get the expected return results.

In other parts of my app I can have it look like the original code above and it works as expected. But in this controller it doesn't.

I would need to see more of your code but i guess it is related to your #search method being a method. :p

To chain methods like:

User.where(zip_code: locations.map(&:zipcode)).search(params[:search].gsub(/\s+/, ' | '))

you will need the search method to be an scope. =)
